Muk- 2
Garbodor- 2

Spoiler:

I think if people stopped paying attention to the stupid mouth they gave the sprite (see below) then Garbodor would be a lot more popular!



Anyway, new topic time! It'll be similar to this one.

New topic: Which is best, Beedrill or Scolipede?

vs

These are two of the fully-evolved Poison Bugs from the start of the games, so which do you prefer!

No other takers? Just a tie?

Garbodor-2
Muk-2

Yikes, we need a tiebreaker, first to 5 wins? lol

I like Scolipede, as it's mighty fast. Has a bit bigger movepool. I never really cared for Beedrill to be quite honest. I've always been more a Butterfree-type of guy so Breedrill loses my vote here.

[miltankRancher]

that's a nice read there, arbok! scolipede's really cool, though I really don't like its design.

[d4rka8isz]

I prefer Scolipede over Beedrill seeing as I wasn't born with the classics and Beautifly was the first final evolution bug type I've gotten. Beedrill was literally the last one I got, even after Scolipede. Mainly it's because I didn't really want to train a Weedle or Caterpie.

[miltankRancher]

Weedle is a bugger to train. It gets Poison Sting as its first attack, which is ineffective against Pokemon in Viridian City.

to answer the current trivia: 7 pokemon were released in Gen V.

Actually, wouldn't the answer be 8?

The question asked Generation IV, you said V. Getting me all confused here! LOL

[miltankRancher]

OOppssss. Drastic mistake there. sorry. I guess you were the one who answered. hahaha. it's 8. My eyes tricked me.

[johnny18]

I like Beedrill for sure but based on competitive battling, Scolipede is literally better as it is more useful than beedrill. Since everyone just picks Scolipede, I willl go with beedrill. It needs some love from me

[AlexOzzyCake]

I think I'll go with Scolipede. It looks so cool and is actually a decent battler; the complete opposite of Beedrill! No one likes Wasps :( Plus Beedrill is too weak to do, well, anything well o.o

I was about to counterargue, but I saw the last part. Beedrill is not weak. It can actually deal damage. But the bad part is, he can deal damage not as well as other pokemon.

[Olli97]

I would have to choose Beedrill for nostalgic reasons. I've never trained one, and I never particularly cared about it other than its design, which I find really nice, just another of the original 151 wonders :p
It's one of the Bug types I like the best though, so it's easy to conclude that I don't like that many bug types >_<

[miltankRancher]

Bug types were not strong during the first generation. however, many appeared through the gens.

Beedrill, when I used it, is... hmm.. not the best of my team. But it is good with return + brick break.

Beedrill can learn Brick Break? o.o Now that is a surprise haha. New topic time!

New topic: 'If you were to design your own Poison type Pokemon, what would it be based on and why?'

[miltankRancher]

IIRC, yes. I'm pretty sure I used a Beedrill with Brick Break in FR.

On topic;

I would base it on a poison dragon. that would be epic, imagine, a dragon spitting out sludge bombs.

Tbh, I always thought this should've been Kyurem :3 There's a rumor that Kyurem has an altered form being released in the future, so if that's true I really hope it gains a Poison typing! Also I reckon a Poison/Ice mix could be interesting too...

Ehh and I think it'll remain Ice/Dragon though because a move that's be rumored around of his own signature move is also...an Ice type.

Back on topic, Poison Legendary is a must, we need one.

I'd like a Pokemon that has a backstory to illness however, so a Legendary Poison Pokemon would be a perfect...Germ Pokemon I guess?

LOL

TBH, i thought Hydreigon was poison. Not kyurem though. He's not really fit being a poison type.

@Sector: I thought also of that, but how would they design it? A microscopic germ/bacteria/virus seems pretty hard to conceptualize.

How did they come up with the gooey stuff? LOL

I have no idea, they came up with this ugly Heatran looking fella, they could come up with a germ if they worked on it I'm sure.

Hydreigon as Poison? He looks perfectly Dark to me haha

Honestly? I think the way the typing are, Poison is by far the underrated of them all. Right next to Ice. Rarely ever see anyone use Poison type Pokemon or use it for that reason. (Like Vensaur, advantage-using Grass type, Gengar advantage-using Ghost type, etc)

[Hydro Pumper]

Hi everyone!! :D I look forward to participating~

Name: Hydro
Partner Pokemon: Tentacruel
Reason for Joining: Although not one of my favourite types, I do like using Poison Pokemon because they generally require strategy, rather than just attacking with what ever move is super effective. That is evident by how Poison Pokemon are only super effective on Grass-type Pokemon, yet there are many Poison-type support moves, such as Toxic and Toxic Spikes.

[miltankRancher]

Poison could be both a support and lead attacker, of course. Sludge Bomb/Wave are good attacks, though the moves you said are the more commonly used.

[gunnerpow7]

I'll join!!!!

Name: gunnerpow7
Partner Pokemon: Vile the Vileplume
Reason for Joining: I like Poison Types because, for one thing, my favorite pokemon are actually here...

[AlexOzzyCake]

Welcome to both new members! :)

Hmm, this germ/bacteria legendary sounds interesting... Tbh I reckon it'd just end up looking like an evolved version of Reuniclus? :3 Certainly would be interesting though! I'd quite like to see a new Poison type Pokemon based on poison ivy. Really Snivy could've been this with a few adjustments, but I guess they weren't up for that... :p Maybe it could evolve into a poison oak tree o.o

[Sector Revenge]

I have a sudden urge to want a 'Gas' Pokemon. That's just gas/air-like. Kinda like Gastly in the Pokemon Red/Blue/Yellow with no round head. Mmmm

[Xeberos]

Name: Xeberos
Partner Pokémon: Drapion
Reason for joining: Poison-type Pokémon are pretty dangerous and lethal and that is pretty cool. :D They have powerful moves and moves has cool animations.

[Nagaraja]

OMG! Where have you been all my life. O_o

Name; Nagaraja
Partner Pokemon: Naja Naja the Arbok
Why I want to Join: Poison is my favorite type, not to mention Arbok is my favorite pokemon. With Seviper and Ekans at a close second. There are so many awesome poison types.

Hi Xebby, you decided to join too?

Drapion is such a cool Pokemon, I mean Paul's Drapion in the anime was tough.

Hi Nagaraja!

Given your love of Jessie from Team Rocket, no wonder why you chose Arbok (cos Jessie actually used one in the anime).

Welcome to both of you and we will continue the love of Poison Pokemon.
